DCBG talks to Busta Rhymes
Thursday, January 29, 2009
My good friend Brennan who apparently goes by DCBG now interviewed THE Busta Rhymes during the inauguration festivities, and I finally got a chance to watch the videos. I particularly like the second one, where Busta talks business, not in a clearly-lying hip-hop kind of way, but with actual responsibility at the forefront of his [...]
Book Review: Interpreter of Maladies
Wednesday, January 28, 2009
I just finished Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri, a collection of short stories mostly about Indian Americans. You’re, right, I have been reading a lot lately. Anyway, I liked this book a lot. It’s the kind of book that when you read that a character is yelling, you wince because it sounds loud. I [...]
Book review: Getting Real
Tuesday, January 27, 2009
I just finished Getting Real, a book by 37 Signals which explains a “smaller, faster, better way to build software”. For those who do not know, 37 Signals is a fairly successful company that provides several web applications for small businesses and individuals. In the book, they explain the philosophy that has led to their [...]

Do You remember Life Before the Segway?

Back from my road trip to LA
Monday, January 19, 2009
I’m exhausted so this will be short. On Thursday I left Seattle to drive south with my big sister who is moving back to the east coast. We drove to Oregon on Thursday night and slept in a perfectly acceptable Motel 6 in Albany, OR. On Friday we made it all the way to San [...]
An Engineer’s Guide to Cats
Wednesday, January 14, 2009
I found this guide highly informative and accurate.
Here are some key points that I didn’t want you to miss:
Like most engineers, cats are willing to eat the same thing day after day after day
Tuna is pretty much like cocaine for kitties
Young male engineers will be familiar with the “I’m not paying any attention [...]
Lemonade from Lemons
Tuesday, January 13, 2009
People often say that when given lemons, you should make lemonade. Intrigued, I stopped by this lemonade stand to ask the kids there what the secret was. Shockingly, they knew how to accomplish the task when so many adults seem unable to. The secret? Sugar. A lot of it.
Now I plan on applying that to [...]
How to: allow subscription by email on your blog
Monday, January 12, 2009
Some of my friends are travelling around the world, and rather than mass-email everyone, they write blogs. A lot of the readers of those blogs don’t yet use Google Reader, and so the writers of the blog want a way to have their friends sign up for emails. Here’s how.
You should be able to set [...]
